Love Just Can't Be Hurried

If pain makes way for progress Is it worth the process I'd rather hurt than stand in yesterday When all I find are villains and all my time I'm killin High time I found a better game to play I met her at the border I thought I could afford her The price I've paid has nearly broke the bank She told me not to worry That love just can't be hurried So I tipped my hat and dropped the drink I'd drank Bless these women, Lord, they've sure done right by me Many times they gave me help when they might have just as soon let it be They love me when I make 'em laugh And curse me when they cry I glimpsed it at a distance Conjured at her insistence A monument to all the things we'd shared A boulder's but a pebble When women test your mettle I'm weary, though, it's nice to know they cared Bless these women, Lord They've sure done right by me Many times they gave me help When they might have just as soon let it be They love me when I make 'em laugh And curse me when they cry
